Can’t Remove Candle Jar ads? This page includes detailed ads by Candle Jar Removal instructions!

If the term “Candle Jar” only reminds of a popular Metallica song, you’re about to discover a brand new meaning of it. In the nasty world of cyber threats and online issues “Candle Jar” is the name  of a relatively new adware-type parasite. This thing has also been classified as a potentially unwanted program (PUP) and it’s malicious enough to make you forget about Metallica for a good while. Candle Jar is the nth creation of SuperWeb LLC. and if you’ve heard of that company before, you should already be feeling quite nervous. The nasty reality behind this program’s beautiful facade is that it’s an ad-supported parasite that generates worthless and incredibly dangerous commercials. Does that sound good to you? This thing was designed solely so its creators could gain profit through the dubious pay-per-click mechanism so it’s strictly money-oriented. As you can imagine, when money is a part of the picture, your own cyber security is not. Crooks are wiling to display all kinds of ads including corrupted ones (leading straight to malware) and fake ones (leading to cyber scam with non-existent products). Which option do you prefer – to infect your machine with more parasites or to lose your money and receive nothing in return? Apart from the severe threat these ads pose for your security, keep in mind that they are also incredibly annoying. It’s quite obvious that you can no longer surf the Web like you did before now that every single web page you click open is covered with advertisements. The question here is: how long is your patience going to last? Trust us on this one, the sooner you delete this parasite, the better. In addition to this quite impressive pile of troubles we listed so far, you might be also interested to know that Candle Jar poses a direct threat to your privacy. This thing sneakily monitors all of your browsing-related information while bombarding you with commercial at the same time so it truly leaves you with only one choice. Get rid of the parasite and makes sure you do so fast.

How did I get infected with?

Adware has numerous ways to travel the Web. However, what those infiltration techniques all have in common is the fact they are stealthy. Hackers are aiming for not only spreading their malicious parasites online but also for leaving you completely oblivious to their installation. This is incredibly dangerous for you because adware-type programs are not even among the most virulent parasites out there are yet, they could be very harmful. Imagine the damage a nasty Trojan horse or a whole pile of nasty Trojans could cause. If this is not an experience you’re willing to have (and we assume it isn’t), never skip installation steps when installing software. Pay close attention to all programs seeking your permission and don’t underestimate any potential threat. Remember, your cyber safety is NOT something to be taken lightly. Don’t hesitate to SELECT the Custom/Advanced option in the Setup Wizard and don’t hesitate to DESELECT any sneaky “bonus” program attached to the freeware or shareware bundle. Not the other way around, right? Make sure you remain in control of the bundled software that you download because it’s much, much easier to protect your machine now than later on. Also, make an effort and go through the EULA (End User License Agreement) as well as the Terms and Conditions in advance. Yes, this is time-consuming and yes, it may not be a particularly fun thing to do but it will surely help you protect your machine from malware in the long run.

Why are these ads dangerous?

Well, to begin with, this program is a computer parasite. It doesn’t really come as breaking news that it’s dangerous, does it? Since the very moment this pest manages to trick you into installing it till the very moment you finally decide to delete it, Candle Jar has nothing but issues to offer. After successful installation, the parasite immediately installs a malicious browser extension which is perfectly compatible with Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. Now that all of your browsers are infected, the virus proceeds to modify their setting ever further. Of course, it doesn’t waste time searching for your permission. The Candle Jar add-on is necessary so the virus could generate its irritating commercials and it goes without saying that this program is resourceful enough to effectively disrupt your browsing experience. What was it originally supposed to do, enhance it? Forget about any bogus functionalities this pest promised to have and don’t let hackers outwit you. As we mentioned, all coupons, discounts, best deals, best prices, price comparisons, etc. that it generates are sponsored and highly unreliable. Therefore, make sure you avoid them even though they are intrusive, obnoxious and stubborn beyond belief. Adware infections are also capable of stealing some of your personal data including IP addresses, passwords and usernames, search queries and even your very own browser history. Now that you know cyber criminals have access to your private (and probably quite sensitive) data, are you still trying to believe Candle Jar belongs on your machine? It doesn’t. This thing could easily have some catastrophic consequences if you’re careless and gullible enough to let it trick you. So, in order to help you get rid of the pesky Candle Jar adware parasite, we’ve prepared a detailed manual removal guide down below.
